Today's episode is part 2 of last weeks Goat Peal Trail episode with our guest John, near the summit of Goat Peak, off Highway 410 in Washington State

On this episode we clocked in at about 6 miles roundtrip and around 3,200 ft of elevation gain.  At the summit you are rewarded with a 360 view of the William O. Douglas Wilderness and beyond. On a clear day you can see the Goat Rocks, Fife’s Peak, the Stuart Range, and an impressive view of Mt. Rainier.

Full disclosure, I forgot a crucial piece for the recording equipment on this hike, the SD card. Luckily we were able to use our phone’s recording apps to record the episode. Which might be a great alternative to minimize the weight I’m packing up on difficult trails. I had a great conversion with my guest, recording for nearly 45 minutes at our amazing viewpoint. To keep with the short-form format, we ended up splitting our conversion with our guest into two parts. With part 1 released last week.

Our guest on today's episode is with Rachael, near Tunnel Falls, off the Eagle Creek Trail in Oregon.

On this episode we clocked in at about 13 miles roundtrip and around 2,400 ft of elevation gain spread across the out and back. Why 13 miles and why Eagle Creek? One word - Waterfalls. We were averaging around 2 waterfalls per mile, culminating with Tunnel Falls, a 175 foot waterfall, with a tunnel carved behind it that you walk through.

Rachael's preferred hiking sock is Darn Tough Socks.*
